The hotel is very conveniently located, and the staff were very helpful and available. The decor is new modern. It's definitely not your cookie-cutter hotel, which I appreciated. But for a hotel that just underwent renovation, it had a musty feel and the rooms are quirky - from just a little inconvenient to really awkward. Talking with several others in... more

I stayed at the Allegro for two nights in early September. I've stayed at the Monaco and the Burnham--other Kimpton properties--and this is probably the shabbiest of the three (despite the recent renovation). It's an old building so the rooms are small. The bathroom, in particular, was very small for a hotel bathroom. (Although I thought mine was wisely done--a... more

We live in the Chicago Suburbs and we were invited to a wedding at the Hotel Allegro, so to avoid a 45 minute ride home after drinking at the reception we decide to stay the night. Initially, my wife was in the area and stopped in to see if rooms were still available. She was told that they did still... more

After a long day of travel I arrived late in the evening only to find out that the Allegro overbooked and chose not to honor my guaranteed reservation. So they gave me 20 bucks and put me in a cab for a hotel in the projects. And get this, when I chose not to return for the remainder of my... more

Being our first trip to Chicago and not having a huge budget, we decided on the Hotel Allegro for its value pricing while still having a 3-4 star rating on a hotel. The website for the hotel looks amazing, and they advertise their newly completed renovation. Okay, great, right! Well... first off, the location of the hotel is convenient to... more

I am a frequent guest of Kimpton Hotels and an "In Touch" member. I have stayed at the Allegro once before, well over a year ago and prior to the massive renovation. The good: – The location is touristy, but convenient. The El is very close by, as are multiple bars and restaurants. – The renovation is definitely a huge... more

We had the best time! The renovations have just been completed and the hotel is sooo cool! Ususally don't use all of the facilities of a hotel but because of a busy schedule we chose to eat at both 312 and Encore. Both were great, and fun! The whole place has an atmosphere of "hip and happening". The daily wine... more

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Allegro on a Friday and a Saturday night. We are generally fans of Kimpton hotels - we like the decorations and style that most of their hotels exhibit. Hotel Burnham in Chicago is a particular favorite, for example. We found Hotel Allegro to be a typical but unfortunately underwhelming Kimpton. First, if you're... more

Our upgrade king room was very spacious, but the bathroom sink area was so small that there didn't seem to be any room for water glasses, which were not provided. We paid about $150, which is a good rate for a very well located hotel. We have used this hotel about 4 times in last 3 years and I have... more
